If you have the time and inclination, adding it to the Wiki on
www.openafs.org would be useful.

There's no guest account, but a considerable part of the openafs.org cell
is world readable, 95% of it in fact. Someone else will need to explain
how to use the client as a guest but I believe it is possible.

It's possible with a warm cache to run binaries on a client out of cache
and not be sad, but if you need to pull some large across at 28.8 you'll
be sad. It's not really any worse than any other protocol in that sense,
but in the filesystem case it's perhaps easier to forget the gun is loaded
and whoops, you didn't need that limb, right?
